Recording a picture

Shooting with the LCD screen

Press OPEN to open the LCD panel.

The LCD panel moves about 90 degrees to the viewfinder side and about 180 degrees to the lens side.

If you turn the LCD panel over so that it faces the other way, the indicator appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD screen (Mirror mode).

When closing the LCD panel, set it vertically until it clicks, and swing it into the camcorder body.
